Esfuerzos del ‘Recall’

¡Unidos, por fin!

This picture was taken on Thursday, June 30, 2011 after the group was told that the
signatures were collected in two different forms and they decided to return the next day.
Pictured, left, Victor Hernandez and Rev. Edwin Rodriguez, at right.
s de dominio público que un grupo dirigido por el Reverendo Edwin
Rodríguez comenzó un movimiento llamado "It'sYour Right - Es tu
Derecho", para remover (recall) de su cargo al Alcalde de Lawrence,
William Lantigua. Víctor Hernández, Javier Negrón, Johnny Castillo y Wayne
Hayes se unieron al esfuerzo.
Tanto Rodríguez como Castillo, mantenían y mantienen informado a la
población de habla española del avance de su gestión a través de sus programas
radiales que difunden por la estación local WCCM 1110 AM cada sábado y
domingo, respectivamente.
La adición de Wayne Hayes diversificó el grupo ampliando sus horizontes.
Hayes es un miembro activo y tesorero de la Asociación de Vecinos de Mt.
Vernon, reconocida a través de los años como la mayor, por su cantidad de
miembros y mejor organizada de la ciudad.
En un reciente correo electrónico, Hayes escribió, “Nuestra misión: capacitar
a la comunidad latina y restaurar el orgullo que Lantigua ha arrancado de ellos.
Y alentarlos a que continúen siendo parte del gobierno de Lawrence.”
Este mensaje, proveniente de uno de los altos directivos de la asociación nos
llena de alegría y altas esperanzas.
Por muchos años hemos asistido a reuniones de la asociación, siendo a
principio los únicos miembros latinos del grupo, donde oíamos con frecuencia
exclamaciones del público asistente llamar “esa gente del norte” cuando se
referían a la población latina del otro lado del río.
Esperamos que este sentimiento expresado por Wayne Hayes en su correo
electrónico sea el genuino pensar del resto de la asociación y sus miembros.
Nos resulta irónico que tengamos que agradecer a William Lantigua por este
cambio de actitud, que redundará en beneficio para todos.

United, at last!
Esta foto fue tomada el jueves, 30 de junio 2011 luego que se les dijera al grupo que las
firmas habían sido colectadas en dos planillas diferentes y ellos decidieran retornar al día
siguiente. En la foto desde la izquierda, Víctor Hernández y el Rev. Edwin Rodríguez a la

E
l jueves, 30 de junio 2011, el
grupo "It'sYour Right - Es tu
Derecho", presentó 165 firmas en
el Ayuntamiento para iniciar el proceso de
destituir (recall) al Alcalde de Lawrence
William Lantigua.
Las firmas fueron recogidas en dos
formas diferentes, en formatos impresos
por el grupo.
El Escribano de la Ciudad William
Maloney explicó al líder del grupo, Rev.
Edwin Rodríguez que no podía añadir el
total de una hoja al total de la otra con
el fin de llegar a las más de 100 firmas
requeridas.
En ese momento el Rev. Rodríguez
decidió no presentar las firmas y regresar
al día siguiente con todas las firmas en el
formulario correspondiente.
Al día siguiente, viernes, 1 de julio,
cuando el grupo llegó al Ayuntamiento a
entregar los formularios con las firmas,
encontró las puertas cerradas y que todos
los empleados habían ido a su casa por
órdenes del alcalde para aprovechar el
día feriado del 4 de julio.
Esto causó algunas controversias por
no decir otra cosa.
El jueves, 7 de julio 2011, Wayne
Hayes, co organizador de "It'sYour Right
- Es tu Derecho" informó via correo
electrónico que el Rev. Rodríguez,
Víctor Hernández, Javier Negrón y Sucre
Castillo habían presentado la declaración
jurada el martes, 5 de julio con 175
firmas.
Así mismo, cerca de la medianoche
de ayer jueves, 7 de julio, Hayes
comunicó vía correo electrónico que
el sábado 9 del corriente mes, a la 1:00
PM él comenzaría la fase número dos de
la petición del Recall. También agregó
que el grupo se ha hecho el propósito de
reunir 10,000 firmas en treinta días.
Recall efforts
update
O
n Thursday, June 30, 2011,
the group “It’sYour Right - Es
tu Derecho” presented 165
signatures at City Hall to start the process
to recall Lawrence Mayor William
Lantigua.
The signatures were collected in
two different forms, both printed by the
group.
City Clerk William Maloney
explained to the leader of the group, Rev.
Edwin Rodriguez that he could not add
one total to the other in order to come up
to the 100+ signatures required.
Rev. Rodriguez decided not to file
the signatures at this time but to come
back the next day with the signatures on
the appropriate form.
The next day happened to be Friday,
July 1st, and when the recall group
arrived to City Hall, they found that the
doors were locked and everyone had
gone home per the mayor’s orders to
take advantage of the 4th of July Holiday
weekend.
This caused some controversy to say
the least.
On Thursday, July 7, 2011, Wayne
Hayes, Co-organizer of It’s Your Right Es tu Derecho informed by e-mail, that
Rev. Rodriguez, Victor Hernandez, Javier
Negron and Sucre Castillo had presented
the affidavit on Tuesday, July 5th with
175 signatures.
Also, on Thursday July 7, close to
midnight, Hayes communicated via email
that on Saturday the 9th of this month, at
1:00 PM he would begin the phase two on
the quest of the Recall. He added that the
group has increased their goal to10,000
signatures within thirty days.
I
t’s of public domain that a group led by Reverend Edwin Rodriguez started a
movement to recall Lawrence Mayor William Lantigua. Víctor Hernández,
Javier Negron, Johnny Castillo and Wayne Hayes joined the effort.
Rodriguez as well as Castillo, have been keeping the Spanish-speaking
public informed prior to their activities through their radio programs on WCCM
1110 AM each Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
The addition of Hayes diversifies the group expanding its horizons. Hayes
is an active member and treasurer of the Mt. Vernon Neighborhood Association,
known through the years as the largest in quantity of members and best organized
in the city.
In a recent email message from the Mt. Vernon Neighborhood Association,
Hayes wrote, “Our Mission: To empower the Latino community and restore the
pride that Lantigua has ripped from them. To encourage them to continue being
a part of the government of Lawrence.”
This message from one of the directors of the association fills us with joy
and high hope.
Through the years we have attended meetings of the association while being
the only Latinos in the group, listening to frequent public outcries about “those
people in the north” when referring to the Latino population on the other side of
the river.
We hope that the feelings expressed by Wayne Hayes in his email reflect the
genuine opinion of the association and its members.
It seems ironic that we must be thankful to William Lantigua for being the
catalyst for this change in attitude, which in turn will benefit us all.

¿SABIA USTED QUE SU
COMPAÑÍA ASEGURADORA
PUEDE QUE NO RENUEVEN
SU PÓLIZA DE SEGURO DE
AUTO?
El asunto de Grullón
en el aeropuerto
Se ha dicho suficiente en la prensa local
sobre el empleado de DPW que fue enviado
a trabajar en el aeropuerto de Lawrence sin
la correspondiente licencia o habilidades de
comunicación.
Esta controversia surgió durante la
audiencia de presupuesto ante el Concejo
Municipal, cuando Michael Miller, director
del aeropuerto, explicó que necesitan
dinero para horas extras a fin de cubrir a un
empleado que desempeña las funciones que
Rafael Grullón no puede hacer.
Yo no puedo creer que los miembros
del concilio hayan permitido que el nombre
de un empleado municipal sea empañado
en los medios de tal manera. Estén o no
en lo cierto, ellos debieron retirarse a una
sesión ejecutiva para discutir un asunto de
personal y el director de personal ni siquiera
estaba presente.
Según el Eagle-Tribune, el Director de
Personal Frank Bonet, está siendo culpado
por forzarlos a mantener al señor Grullón en
un trabajo para el que no está calificado. El
Sr. Bonet afirma que las reglas del sindicato
dictan que el empleado despedido con la
mayor antigüedad debe ser nombrado al
puesto de trabajo disponible y dado que el
señor Grullón fue uno de los trabajadores
del cementerio despedido en julio del año
pasado y fue el empleado calificado de
más alto rango le correspondía regresar a
trabajar antes que otros.
El asunto se pone feo porque se ha
hecho evidente que no lo quieren allí y
que al Sr. Miller le gustaría recuperar a un
empleado del aeropuerto que había sido
cesanteado, pero con menos antigüedad que
Grullón.
El Presidente del sindicato, Edmund
"Ike" Gabriel se puso del lado del señor
Miller quejándose de la falta de habilidades
de Rafael, el lenguaje y la licencia. Incluso
llegó a decir que eso es una venganza del
Alcalde Lantigua contra el sindicato y
se queja de problemas de seguridad en el
aeropuerto, mientras que Bonet insiste en
que al señor Grullón no le han proporcionado
ningún tipo de entrenamiento en su nuevo
cargo. De acuerdo con la descripción del
trabajo, el requisito era tener cinco años
de experiencia en mantenimiento de la
estructura y de las áreas verdes, pintando,
reparación de luces, quitar la nieve en
invierno y cortando el césped, etc. durante
el verano.

El Sr. Gabriel ha enviado copias
de los mensajes de correo electrónico
a algunos miembros de los medios de
comunicación indicando la forma en que
advirtió al Sr. Bonet sobre este problema,
pero la ciudad alega que la unión aprobó
su traslado al aeropuerto desde el primer
momento. Yo pedí copias de varios
documentos bajo el Act de Libertad de
Información y un mensaje que el Sr.
Gabriel envió al Sr. Bonet el 25 de enero
de 2011, donde dice: "Yo creo que por
contrato se debe llamar al empleado
calificado con más antigüedad." Y
continúa diciendo: "Me gustaría trabajar
con usted en este asunto para poder traer
a Raphael de vuelta tan pronto como sea
posible."
La descripción del trabajo también
dice que le deben dar seis meses desde
la fecha de contratación para obtener
la licencia necesaria y no hay ninguna
mención de un requisito de habilidades
de comunicación.
Otros empleados
previos de la misma capacidad en el
aeropuerto han recibido esa ayuda en
ese proceso, pero el señor Grullón no ha
recibido ninguna asistencia para lograr
ese objetivo.
En una carta a Michael Miller el 4
de julio de 2011, el señor Grullón pide
una disculpa por todo lo que se ha dicho
sobre su trabajo.
Pero su carta al Sr. Miller representa
un problema. El recibió un papel con otras
tareas como la limpieza de las oficinas
administrativas, limpiar y pulir los pisos,
limpiar las ventanas, la limpieza de dos
cuartos de baño, pasar la aspiradora por
las alfombras y sacar la basura. Ninguna
de esas tareas aparece en la descripción
del trabajo, mientras que él pide que le
proporcionen instrucción y entrenamiento
formal.
En lugar de defender a un miembro
de su unión, el Sr. Gabriel ha hecho
esto un asunto político y el público no
logra entender el por qué. Lo único que
tiene que hacer es leer la descripción
del trabajo y ver que Rafael estaba
capacitado para la transferencia en aquel
momento. El debe defender el derecho
del Sr. Grullón a recibir el entrenamiento
adecuado para poder obtener la licencia
requerida y preguntar por qué le han
dado obligaciones adicionales que no
aparecen en la descripción del trabajo
sin recibir compensación adicional.
Hemos escuchado por mucho tiempo las
historias de empleados de la ciudad que
no hacen nada extra a menos que les den
un estipendio.
Este caso tiene las cualidades de
otra demanda por discriminación que
la ciudad no puede permitirse y los
concejales tienen mucho de culpa si llega
a suceder por permitir que sus reuniones
se conviertan en el circo que con tanta
frecuencia vemos. Ya ha sucedido con
otros empleados que continúan en sus
posiciones y los contribuyentes de la

A
hora que tenemos un mercado
“competitivo” cuando se trata de
seguros de autos en el estado de
Massachusetts, las compañías aseguradoras
pueden cobrar tarifas diferentes y puede
que no renueven su póliza actual. Si usted
o alguien en su póliza de seguro tiene un
record con 4 puntos o más, puede que su
póliza no sea renovada y se le asignará una
nueva compañía con tarifas más altas.
Choferes con más de 6 años de experiencia
y con un record de manejar excelente
recibirán las mejores tarifas.
Si es requerido que usted llene un
formulario SR-22 o si usted tiene puntos en
su licencia por manejar bajo la influencia
del alcohol (DUI por sus siglas en inglés),
su compañía aseguradora puede negarse
a renovar su póliza además de negarse
a venderle una póliza comprensiva o de
accidentes.
Si usted o alguien en su póliza miente
durante el proceso de aplicación o durante
un reclamo, su reclamo puede ser negado.
Son los buenos chóferes los que las
compañías quieren asegurar y ellos no
renovarán la póliza de chóferes con varios
accidentes. La compañía puede negarse a
pagar cualquier reclamo si alguien que no
está listado en su póliza de seguro se ve
envuelto en un accidente. Listar a todo el
que manejará su vehículo es requerido. Si
alguien ya tiene una póliza, no hay cargos
adicionales para añadir a esa persona.
DESCUENTOS QUE NOSOTROS
OFRECEMOS:
• Para buenos chóferes
• Si usted maneja muy poco
• Múltiples autos asegurados
• Seguros para la casa y el/los autos
• Buen estudiante
• Descuentos para viajeros (Commuters)
• Si tiene sistema de seguridad instalado
en su vehículo
Usted no tendrá que pagar nada por
adelantado si aplica con 30 días de
anticipación antes de que su actual póliza
de venza o solo un 10% de depósito si
usted utiliza una cuenta de cheque para
pagar vía pagos directos (EFT por sus
siglas en inglés).
COSAS A CONSIDERAR CUANDO
COMPRA UN SEGURO DE AUTO:
Los dueños de casa necesitan mayor
cobertura
Los viajeros necesitan una póliza que
incluya un vehículo de renta en caso de un
accidente
Los vehículos financiados necesitan seguro
de accidentes y seguro comprensivo.
Para la mejor protección y precios usted
puede contactar nuestra oficina para hacer
una cita y conversar sobre sus necesidades
de seguro.

Clary Soto Visita Lawrence
R
ecientemente tuvimos el placer de
tener en esta área a Clary Soto, una
joven que promete llegar muy alto
en el mundo de la farándula. Clary vino a
Boston contratada para cantar en una boda
y con la ayuda de Ernesto Bautista, ella y su
promotor Jorge Jiménez pudieron visitar a
varios miembros de los medios.
Clary, a quien llaman “La Dura de la
Bachata”, reconoció que ha sido difícil para
una artista de su género "pegar en el gusto
del público popular" pero aseguró que
trabaja para ser la primera bachatera que
logre tal hazaña "pues con mi música
y mi lírica quiero llegar al corazón del
pueblo dominicano y convertirme en
su embajadora a nivel mundial en
ese ritmo".
"No puedo negar que estoy
obsesionada por encontrarme con ese
tema musical que atrape de verdad
a la gente de la calle, al pueblo, al
populacho pero también a la gente
de buen gusto musical por eso los
temas que grabo combinan esas dos
cosas, un buen sonido original y unas
tetras graciosas y bonitas pero que
conecten con el pueblo", expresó al
ser entrevistada por los periodistas.
Soto recordó que cuando Anthony
Ríos la vio le dijo que se necesitaba
en ese género una artista como ella y
que hasta se comprometió a hacer un
par de composiciones para que pudiera
"pegar" en el gusto de la gente. "Tengo
mucha confianza en este tema Quédate
PARA TODO TIPO DE SEGURO
con El, de la autoría de una compositora
dominicana llamada Noris Núñez que se
nos hizo imposible comunicarnos con ella",
agregó.
"Estoy segura que tengo temas de mi
repertorio que pueden gustarle a la gente
pero ahora vamos a ver qué pasa con Quédate
con El al cual le hemos hecho un video clip
de apoyo para que pueda penetrar más en
la gente y ayude a nuestra proyección en el
extranjero", añadió, la Dura de la Bachata.
La artista dijo que trabajará también para
ser tomada en cuenta por los premios de la
Asociación de Cronistas de Arte (Acroarte)
pues sueña con subir algún día a recibir el
premio de la "Bachatera del Año" porque
le gustaría ser la primera del género en
lograrlo ya que "canta bachata desde
chiquitica" y esa premiación “solo se la
llevan los varones cuando hay mujeres que
también cantamos bachata".
La bachatera Clary Soto resaltó los
temas que contiene el álbum "Quédate
con El" que incluye además otros hits ya
promocionados como son "Tú eres mi
hombre", "Aventura", "No te vayas" y
"Moscas en la casa". Explicó que completó
la actual producción discográfica con otros
temas como "Indio Canelo", "Apuesta a
mí", "He contratado un amante", "Me gusta
todo de ti" y "Te me saliste de adentro".
Soto dio crédito al músico y arreglista
David Paredes y a Flaco quienes trabajaron
en los arreglos de una parte de los temas
musicales al igual que Los Cieguitos de su
natal Bani.
Respecto al hecho de haber escogido
un lugar tan prestigioso y cotizado como es
el centro nocturno Hard Rock Café explicó
que tuvo que ver con algo de lógica ya que
acostumbra a presentarse cada semana en
lugares como Rumba Café Bar, Relax Café
y XO Café Bar "porque Hard Rock es un
café y porque es el tempo del rock donde
a mi algún día me gustaría presentar un
concierto Unplugged con mis originales
bachatas y no descarto que pueda ser este
mismo año".
La Dura de la Bachata, como se le
conoce, dijo que a partir de ahora desarrollará
un trabajo agresivo de promoción en
Santiago y demás pueblos del interior que
fue algo que interrumpimos en el 2009
cuando retomamos la carrera artística luego
de una "pausa" de la estrategia promocional
que fue involuntaria.
"Vamos a visitar los medios, vamos
a estar más en la televisión, queremos
que nos tomen en cuenta para los grandes
eventos populares como los que organiza
Luis Medrano y otras empresas licoreras
y cerveceras y vamos a visitar los medios
de comunicación de los pueblos del interior
que fue algo que descuidamos, quizás por
falta de recursos también", comentó la
artista.

Soto, llame a Jorge Jiménez at 809-8539869 ó 809-236-9297. También pueden

The Paley Family Honored
T
he Paley family history is a story
of the American dream. In the year
1910, a young Russian immigrant
named Frances Gidansky, age 12, went to
work in the Everett Mill. Decades later, her
entrepreneurial son Bert Paley became one
of New England's most visionary leaders
in the movement to preserve historic mill
buildings and adapt them for creative reuse.
In Lawrence alone, Paley acquired
the Great Stone Mill and Everett Mill, as
well as managed the Wood and Ayer Mills.
Now in the third generation, Marianne
Paley Nadel --urban planner and founding
director of Groundwork Lawrence -- leads
her family in ownership of the Everett and
Stone Mills, and brings to the family's work
a sense of community and a vision of an
urban greenway.
As a result, the Paley buildings stand
today as bright examples of the preservation
of Lawrence's past— and as powerful forces
for civic culture and economic stability in
Lawrence's future.
The Lawrence History Center has
sought from its very first days to make
accessible the rich history of Lawrence
and her people. And since 1998, they have
spotlighted the efforts and accomplishments
of outstanding leaders, past and present,
which have worked to bring development
and prosperity to Lawrence and are seeking
to rebuild it today.
On Thursday, June 16th, 2010, the Paley
Family, represented by Marianne Paley
Nadel, received the Eartha Dengler History
Award in a ceremony and gala reception
held on the fifth floor of the Everett Mill,
located alongside Union Street, between
Canal and General Street.
This event honoring The Paley Family
sets the stage for the 2012 observance
throughout Lawrence, of the Centennial of
the Bread and Roses Strike of 1912. The

History Center's major exhibit, Community
in Crisis-Strike of 1912, will open at the
Everett Mill in January 2012, and remain
there throughout the year.

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOUR
INSURANCE COMPANY
COULD REFUSE RENEWING
YOUR CAR INSURANCE
POLICY?
The Grullón situation
at the Airport
Enough is being said in the local press
about the DPW employee sent to work at
the Lawrence Airport without the necessary
license or communication skills.
It came up during the budget hearing
before the City Council when Michael
Miller, airport director explained that they
need money available for overtime in order
to cover an employee who performs the
duties that Rafael Grullon cannot do.
I cannot believe that the members of
the City Council allowed the name of any
city employee could be dragged through the
media in such fashion. Right or wrong, they
should have gone on executive session to
discuss a personnel issue and the personnel
director was not even present.
According to the Eagle-Tribune, the
Personnel Director Frank Bonet is being
blamed for forcing the airport to keep
Mr. Grullon at a job for which he is not
qualified to do. Mr. Bonet claims that union
rules expect the laid off employee with the
longest seniority to be appointed to the next
job available and since Mr. Grullon was
among the workers laid off last July and as
the most senior qualified employee, it was
his turn to come back.
It gets ugly because the newspaper
suggests that he is not wanted there and Mr.
Miller would like to have a former airport
employee who had been laid off but with
less seniority.
Union president Edmund “Ike” Gabriel
sided with Mr. Miller complaining about
Mr. Grullon’s lack of skills, language
and license. He even said that to be a
vendetta from Mayor Lantigua against
the union complaining of safety concerns
at the airport, while Bonet insists that Mr.
Grullon has not been provided any kind of
training in his new position. According to
the job description, the requirement was
five years facilities maintenance experience
maintaining the grounds and structures
doing some painting, repairing lights,
removing snow in winter and mowing
grass, landscaping, etc. during the summer.
Mr. Gabriel has sent copies of email
messages to some members of the media
stating how he warned Mr. Bonet about
this problem but the city alleges that he
approved the move to the airport in the
first place. I requested under the Freedom
of Information Act copies of several
documents and one memo from Mr. Gabriel
sent to Mr. Bonet on January 25, 2011,
says, "I believe contractually you must
recall the Senior Qualified employee."
He goes on to say, “I would like to work
with you on this matter so that we can
hopefully get Raphael back as soon as
possible.”
The job description also says that
he should be given six months since the
date of hire to get his hoisting license
and there is no mention of the need
for communication skills.
Previous
employees in the same capacity at the
airport have been helped in that process
but Mr. Grullon has received no assistance
towards that goal.
In a letter to Michael Miller dated
July 4, 2011, Mr. Grullon requests an
apology for everything that has been said
about his performance.
But his letter to Mr. Miller is
troublesome. He was given a paper
with other tasks such as cleaning the
administration building, buffing the
floors, mopping, cleaning windows,
cleaning two bathrooms, vacuuming area
rugs and removing trash. None of those
duties are shown on the job description,
while asking for instruction and formal
training.
Rather than defending a member
of his union, Mr. Gabriel has made this
issue a political one and we have yet to
understand his reasoning. All he has to
do is read the job description and see
that Rafael was indeed qualified for that
transfer at that time. He should also
defend Mr. Grullon’s right to receive the
proper training in order to acquire the
necessary license and question why he
had been given extra duties not called for
in the job description without additional
compensation. We’ve heard the stories of
city employees who will not do anything
extra unless they get a stipend.
This case has the makings of another
discrimination suit that the citizens cannot
afford and the city councilors are just as
much to blame if that occurs for allowing

A
NOTES FROM YOUR LIBRARIAN
BY/POR MAUREEN NIMMO
Lawrence Public Library Director
H
ll five classrooms at the Notre Dame
Education Center in Lawrence are
full of adults, alert and engaged,
speaking Spanish quickly and English,
well, perhaps less so.
But not for long. With the help of
teachers and classes such as English for
Speakers of Other Languages, tutoring,
citizenship assistance and the Nursing
Assistance Program, the most challenged
Merrimack Valley residents are making
strides toward becoming self-sufficient and
independent to advance in their jobs and
communities.
Kadoika Tejeda of Lawrence has
always wanted to become a nurse. Teachers
and staff at NDEC accepted her into the
Nursing Assistant Program and with a
stimulus grant helped her apply to Northern
Essex Community College. Married and
the mother of three girls, she just finished
taking a semester of four prerequisite
classes to prepare for the nursing program.
“Notre Dame Education Center
has helped me work toward my goal of
becoming a nurse, something I’ve wanted
for a really, really long time,” she said. “I’m
fortunate that I can do this – not everyone
has this privilege. I’m very lucky.”
Her bright future, a success story for
NDEC, is joined by another. Clemencia
Susana, a Lawrence resident since 1988
and working at Academy Nursing Home in
Andover, studies at the center to write and

ello Rumbo readers. I hope you
are all enjoying your summer.
We are currently having issues
with the air conditioner in the library and
it is very hot in here. It is being worked
on though and perhaps by the time you
read this the problem will be solved.
Meanwhile, I am not going to let it get
in the way of my enjoyment of the fine
weather outdoors. Anyway we have been
fortunate that temperatures have not
reached the levels of last year and we
have not had to close our doors yet.
Well, summer is here and that means
our summer reading program is starting
up. The theme for this year is “One
World, Many Stories”. Virtually every
day in the month of July we will have
some sort of free activity or program
going on in our Children’s Room. There
will be magic shows, musical programs, a
live animal show and even a henna dying
demonstration. (This latter is for ages
twelve and up with parental/guardian
permission.) Come by the Children’s
Room and get a complete schedule of
what is happening when. All these events
are free and open to everyone but space is
limited so be sure to sign up. Everyone
always has a great time.
We have a couple of projects going
on in the building that I wanted to
mention: first we are redoing the light
fixtures in our lobby. The lights around
the Liberty statue have been restored and
we are also replacing the third floor lobby
lights. This should beautify the lobby
and restore it to the original architectural
vision. Also, we are getting shades put
on the windows at the Branch library as
well as in the Robert Frost room. I want
to thank the White Fund and the Friends
of the Library for funding these projects.
When budgeting is tight, it is great to
have organizations that “have our back”
and provide us with the means to make
improvements that city General Fund
simply can’t provide.
As most of you know we are
approaching the centennial anniversary
of the Bread and Roses strike of 1912.
All kinds of events are being planned by
different city organizations to celebrate that
historic occasion. The library is already
involved in the celebration with our City
Read program, (in which we encourage
a city-wide reading of one book—Bread
and Roses Too by Katherine Paterson.) I
was recently asked to join the monument
committee as well. Led by the always
intrepid Jonas Stundza, the committee is
raising funds to erect a granite monument
on the Campagnone Common with a bronze
sculpture of the strikers on the front. This is
a very exciting project to be involved with
and should make a beautiful addition to our
Common. I’ll keep you all up to date on
centennial plans as I learn them.
There was no edition of Rumbo in
mid-June so I missed my usual article but
I did want to mention that the Library’s
new operating system, Evergreen is now
in place. You will see changes when you
log onto our catalog and also when you
do interlibrary loans. I think most of the
changes are easy enough to figure out but
if you are having any problems do not
hesitate to contact one of our staff. We are
all learning it together!
All I can say is come by and see us,
get yourselves some good beach reads and
get to a beach to read them. See you at the
library.

M
aureen Melanson, a biology
teacher at Methuen High School
was one of twenty-three teachers
nationwide recognized with the National
Math and Science Initiative All American
Teacher Award. She was one of three
Massachusetts teachers so honored, and
the only Massachusetts Science teacher
recognized.
Mrs. Melanson has taught at Methuen
High School for eleven years. Recently,
she played a crucial role in applying for,
receiving and implementing the MMSI
Advance Placement Grant.
She then
encouraged all students to challenge
themselves while taking the most rigorous
AP courses available. As a result, Methuen
High increased their AP students from fiftynine to three hundred & thirty-three over a
three year period.
Mrs. Melanson acts as a positive role
model for her students and continually
stresses the importance of succeeding
academically. She is respected by students
and teachers alike. She recently was
presented her award in Washington, D.C.
and was also recognized at a Methuen
School Committee Meeting.

speak English more fluently.
“I also want to speak more clearly,”
Susana said. “I am learning how to listen
and I can understand more than ever before,
which is important because my two sons,
who were born here, speak English very
well and I have to keep up with them.”
Since 1996 NDEC has quietly touched
the lives of thousands of adults eager to
acquire citizenship, adopt the English
language and succeed in new professions.
Faced with government funding cuts and
time-limited corporate support, NDEC’s
ability to continue to provide programs and
services is threatened.
“For the first time we are initiating a
donor acquisition campaign so that we
can continue our training programs, GED
preparation, computer courses, English for
Speakers of Other Languages, tutoring,
citizenship assistance, and career coaching
for low-income, undereducated adults,”
said Sr. Eileen Burns, SNDdeN, Executive
Director of Notre Dame Education Center.
“We’re asking our neighbors and friends to
partner with us through this very difficult
economic time for NDEC by donating.
Please look for our donation mailings in the
next week and give what you can so we can
continue the work we do.”
NDEC is accepting donations online at
www.NDEClawrence.org or by mail to 354
Merrimack St., Suite 210, Lawrence, MA
01843.
Since 2006, 274 adults, mostly
women, have graduated from the NDEC
Nursing Assistant Program. Kadoika
Tejeda, Clemencia Susana and many more
Lawrence residents are working to make
a difference in their lives. A successful
campaign means NDEC adult learners will
have the educational skills they need to
succeed in the workplace.
“A place like this helps adult learners
grow as individuals and as mothers and
fathers, and helps them find a better job,” said
Lina Rodriguez, NDEC program manager.
“Donations to NDEC will help people to
understand, to be more independent, to help
their kids with their homework and be more
involved in their kids’ lives.”
Enforcing the noise
ordinance
Let me make some noise about
noise.
I went by a school nearing release
time a few days ago and noticed cars
waiting for the children with the radios
blaring. The windows in the building
were open because it was a hot day and I
am certain that the music could be heard
inside the classrooms.
This is the same complaint heard
from neighborhoods near clubs and
bars all over the city, particularly late at
night.
It’s not a question of freedom or
curtailing liberties. It is common sense and
being respectful of the privacy of others.
I remember a neighbor I had who used to
entertain a lot. We could not hear what
was going on inside the house but when
the company was leaving at 2 or 3 in the
morning, they would warm up the cars with
the doors open and the radio all the way up
waking up the entire neighborhood.
We have laws that need to be enforced.
Lawrence will be a much better place to
live if people learn to be more considerate
of others.

una cita en negrita de Ralph Waldo Emerson: problemas comenzaron antes de firmar
SUMMER JOBS: Tax Tips from the IRS for Students
Starting a Summer Job
determine the amount of tax that will
be withheld from your paycheck. If you
have multiple summer jobs, make sure
all your employers are withholding an
adequate amount of taxes to cover your
total income tax liability. To make sure
your withholding is correct; use the
Withholding Calculator on www.irs.gov.
2 Whether you are working as a waiter or
a camp counselor, you may receive tips
as part of your summer income. All tips
you receive are taxable income and are
therefore subject to federal income tax.
3 Many students do odd jobs over the
summer to make extra cash. Earnings
you receive from self-employment –
including jobs like baby-sitting and lawn
mowing – are subject to income tax.
4 If you have net earnings of $400 or
more from self-employment, you will
also have to pay self-employment tax.
This tax pays for your benefits under the
Social Security system. Social Security
and Medicare benefits are available to
individuals who are self-employed the
same as they are to wage earners who
have Social Security tax and Medicare
tax withheld from their wages. The self-
employment tax is figured on Form
1040, Schedule SE.
5 Food and lodging allowances paid
to ROTC students participating in
advanced training are not taxable.
However, active duty pay – such as
pay received during summer advanced
camp – is taxable.
6 Special rules apply to services you
perform as a newspaper carrier or
distributor. You are a direct seller and
treated as self-employed for federal
tax purposes if you meet the following
conditions:
* You are in the business of delivering
newspapers.
* All your pay for these services directly
relates to sales rather than to the number
of hours worked.
* You perform the delivery services under
a written contract which states that you
will not be treated as an employee for
federal tax purposes.
Generally, newspaper carriers or
distributors under age 18 are not subject
to self-employment tax.
y darles mi tarjeta de crédito. En primer
lugar, se suponía que me iban a recoger al
garaje después donde dejé mi auto y después
de haber esperado por más de una hora y
media, el chofer del camión de remolque
de Sheehan’s Towing tuvo la amabilidad de
llevarme a la estación de radio, porque ya
era tarde para mi programa "CrossOver".
Más tarde, fui a su oficina en South Union
St. en Lawrence.
Durante los próximos tres días, recibí
una multa de aparcamiento en Andover, que
me costó $20. Pagué la multa dentro de una
semana y un mes más tarde, una carta de la
empresa me dijo que tenía que pagar $15
por gastos administrativos. Fui a verlos y no
tenían idea de lo que la carta decía, aunque
estaba claro que me estaban cobrando por
algo. Al parecer, los municipios notifican
a las agencias de alquiler de autos cuando
multan un auto de alquiler.
Fui al Town Hall de Andover y me
dieron una carta diciendo que mi multa se
pagó en cuestión de unos días y volví a
Enterprise con ella. Después de hablar con
un aprendiz a gerente, él me dijo que iba a
hacerse cargo de él y no tenía nada de qué
preocuparme.
Bueno, mi tarjeta de crédito fue cargada
15 dólares, después de todo. Ellos no tenían
derecho a cargar "gastos administrativos"
sin haber hecho algo que lo justificara.
Por utilizar esas prácticas engañosas, le
recomiendo que considere cuidadosamente
cuando necesite alquilar un carro.
Hacer cumplir la
ordenanza de ruido
Permítanme hacer un poco de ruido
por el ruido.
Estuve en una escuela poco antes de
la hora de la salida hace unos días y me
di cuenta de varios autos esperando a los
niños con los radios a todo volumen. Las
ventanas en el edificio estaban abiertas
porque era un día caluroso y estoy segura
de que la música se oía en los salones de
clases.
Esta es la misma queja escuchada de
los vecinos cerca de discotecas y bares por
toda la ciudad, especialmente por la noche.
No es una cuestión de libertad o
reduciendo las libertades de nadie. Es
de sentido común y ser respetuoso de la
privacidad de los demás. Recuerdo a un
vecino que yo tenía que solía tener muchas
visitas. Nosotros no podíamos oír lo que
estaba pasando dentro de la casa, pero
cuando la visita se iba a las 2 ó las 3 de
la mañana, calentaban sus carros con las
puertas abiertas y la radio todo dar hasta
despertar a todo el vecindario.
Tenemos leyes que se deben cumplir.

completo de los eventos. Todos estos
eventos son gratuitos y abiertos a todos,
pero el espacio es limitado, así que
asegúrense de registrarse. Todo el mundo
siempre disfruta de los programas.
Tenemos varios proyectos en pie en
la biblioteca que quería mencionar: en
primer lugar, tenemos nuevas luminarias
en el lobby. Las luces alrededor de
la Estatua de la Libertad han sido
restauradas. También tenemos nuevas
luces en el tercer piso. Esto debería
decorar el vestíbulo y restaurarla en
la concepción arquitectónica original.
Además, vamos a poner cortinas en las
ventanas de la sucursal de la biblioteca,
así como en salón de Robert Frost en
el tercer piso. Quiero dar las gracias al
White Fund y los Amigos de la Biblioteca
para apoyar estos proyectos. Cuando el
presupuesto es apretado, es bueno tener
las organizaciones que nos respaldan y
nos proporcionan los medios para hacer
mejoras a la biblioteca que la ciudad
simplemente no puede proporcionar con
el fondo general.
Como la mayoría de ustedes saben,
nos acercan el centenario de la huelga
de Pan y Rosas de 1912. Diferentes
organizaciones de la ciudad tienen
muchos eventos planificados para celebrar
esa ocasión histórica. La biblioteca ya
está participando en la celebración con
nuestro programa City Read, (por medio
del cual animamos a la ciudad entera a
leer el mismo libro - Bread and Roses Too
por Katherine Paterson). Recientemente
me invitaron a formar parte del comité
del monumento también.
Stundza
Jonas es el intrépido líder del comité
que está recaudando fondos para erigir
un monumento de granito en el Parque
Campagnone con una escultura de bronce
de los huelguistas en el frente. Es muy
emocionante estar involucrado en este
proyecto y debe ser una hermosa adición
a nuestro parque. Mantendré a todos al
día sobre los planes del centenario.
No hubo edición de Rumbo a la
mitad de junio, así que no escribí mi
artículo de costumbre, pero sí quiero
mencionar que el sistema operativo de
la biblioteca, Evergreen, ya está en pie.
Usted verá cambios cuando se conecta a
nuestro catálogo y también cuando hace
préstamos interbibliotecarios. Creo que
la mayoría de los cambios son bastante
fáciles de entender, pero si usted tiene
algún problema, favor de hablar con uno
de nuestros empleados. ¡Todos estamos
aprendiendo juntos!
